Fashion designer and actress Masaba Gupta, who is expecting her first baby with Satyadeep Misra, recently opened up about her thoughts on parenting. As she awaits the arrival of her first child in October, she expressed her desire to be actively involved in raising her child, drawing inspiration from her mother, Neena Gupta. During a conversation with a news portal, the actress said that she is quite excited and nervous at the same time.
Speaking to ETimes, she said, “I am heading into something that’s a little bit unpredictable and at the same time very exciting. But I am prepared for the unpredictable.”
The designer also revealed that she intends to be a “hands-on parent” just like her mother because she “did a lot by herself.” Elaborating further, she said, “I intend to be a hands-on parent like my mother because she did a lot by herself. I will be perfect in some areas, and imperfect in some, but I will be learning every day. Babies are super resilient. I don’t want to put any pressure even on my mother to be around the baby because she has her own life.”
When asked about the tips that mother Neena Gupta has given her. She replied, “The only thing that she told me is that ‘A child can be born and be raised very well and become anything that you imagine or aspire the child to be from a footpath and from a mansion’. So that’s my manual. She always reminds me that children are born on the footpath in this country and they turn out okay. So, I should make the most of the resources I have got and not have this expectation that my child would turn out to be greater.”
Furthermore, the fashion designer revealed that rocking the bump in public was not pre-planned. She said, “I don’t think I planned too much. I was just so happy to be pregnant and so happy to be a healthy pregnant person. I am somebody who cares deeply about how I look and how my fitness levels are. I was so happy to be putting on that weight, to be growing a healthy bump, and to be looking fuller.”
Masaba expressed her desire to embrace every moment of her pregnancy openly, saying, “I wanted to experience everything just as I did before pregnancy. I didn’t want to keep it hidden from anyone. Pregnant women radiate a unique beauty and joy that should be celebrated and shared with the world.”
“I was greatly inspired by Kareena because she was just out and about. She was working, having lunch, having dinner, and living like a normal pregnant woman would live. Even Alia Bhatt promoted a film. It was not a big deal. We make too much of a deal out of it,” she added.
Masaba Gupta and Satyadeep Misra got married on January 27, 2023, in an intimate wedding ceremony attended by close family members. Among the guests was her father, Vivian Richards, who travelled from the Caribbean to be part of the special day.
